Scrocchiarella
Interesting fillings and rectangular shape on Pokrovka
The pizzeria on Pokrovka specializes in the Roman version of pizza - thin, with a crispy crust, which is how the name “crochiarella” is translated from Italian - “crispy”. Here it is made in an elongated rectangular shape and served to guests on a wooden board-shovel. You can choose one of four pizza sizes: 35, 60 or 80 cm in length (the width in each case will be 27 cm), and you can also order half of the smallest pizza. The largest (80x27 cm) will cost 1600 rubles, the smallest (35x27 cm) costs 650 rubles. The price does not depend on the filling. If you are not sure that you can handle even the smallest pizza, you can order one slice.
In total, Scrocchiarella serves eight types of pizza. In addition to the quite traditional ones - with pesto and ham, vegetarian - there is, for example, pizza with beef carpaccio, caramelized plums, artichokes, parmesan, mozzarella and jalapeno. Another impressive one is pizza with caramelized apples, baked turkey, mascarpone, basil, pomegranate juice and parmesan. This is delicious.

The emphasis at Telebistro is on pizza, although the menu also includes breakfasts, soups, salads, and hot dishes. Returning to pizza: the dough is aged for two days, due to which it turns out to be as fluffy as possible.

Capichi is a completely new project from the owners of BB & Burgers, which opened in December in the shopping center on Voykovskaya. The menu is built around one dish - pintsy. It is believed that this is the ancestor of pizza in its modern sense, which differs from the most famous dish of Italian cuisine in the method of preparation. First, the base of the pintsa is baked - a crispy flatbread, then the filling is placed on it, and then everything is very quickly brought to readiness. This dish is familiar to Moscow: pinza has been successfully prepared at Pinzeria by Bontempi for a couple of years; it will be discussed below.
The Capichi menu was developed by BB & Burgers brand chef Maxim Batarin, and before that he went to Italy for an internship. There, the owners of the establishment ordered a special oven, in which seven types of pints are now prepared. According to Moscow tradition, the menu also includes salads, a couple of soups, lemonades made from Abkhaz lemons and desserts, and, of course, with pinza, it will cost 390 rubles. (and if you choose “Margarita”, then 290 rubles). We recommend taking pints with spinach and egg and with oxtails and artichokes.
Zotman Pizza Pie
Pizza from Dmitry Zotov
Dmitry Zotov opened his first pizzeria on Nikitskie Vorota in 2014, now it is a whole chain: more establishments have been added in Krylatskoye, on Marshal Tukhachevsky Street and in the Mega shopping center in Khimki. Everywhere the pizza is prepared in the American way: the dough is thick (it is kneaded from four types of flour), the edges are crispy (they specially bring sauce for them). The restaurateur himself does not hide the fact that he chose pizza as a prototype, which is prepared in a famous American pizzeria.
The Zotmanov menu now includes 17 types of pizza with interesting toppings, including sweet ones, at prices starting from 460 rubles. for “Margarita Buffalo” up to 680 rub. (with salmon and fennel).

4 out of 4
The chef's pizzeria in the Kropotkinskaya area is where Italians living in Moscow unanimously agree with pizza in the city, and the editors of Afisha Daily join them with a pure heart. It is not surprising that there are almost never empty seats here - all the time since the opening, that is, for more than two years.
Options for fillings - 18; everything is an Italian classic (you won't find combinations like jalapeno kebab or suluguni with bacon here), but despite this seemingly simple characteristic, it is a worthy answer to the American-style pizza that has become popular in Moscow - all the ingredients are of excellent quality . The dough for pintsa is prepared from a mixture of three types of flour: wheat, soy and rice, and then kept for a long time - 72 hours. Among the fillings there are the following: burrata with strawberries and cherry; speck with truffle and prosciutto crudo. The most expensive pintsa is with squid and shrimp, 820 rub. In addition to pinza, there is pasta, salads, soups, focaccia, vitello-tonato, where would we be without it - all this is much more expensive.
Delicatessen
A place of power in the courtyards of Sadovaya-Karetnaya
Chef Ivan Shishkin was the first to prepare uneven pizza in Moscow from long-fermentation dough with interesting sauces and toppings. In general, he was the first in Russia in many ways: burgers, brains and kidneys, cool sandwiches, pastrami - all these were the trends he launched. The Delicatessen restaurant and bar opened in 2010, when there was neither Montalto (chef Isaac Correa’s pizzeria closed, but its menu was partially preserved in Corner Burger), much less the pizzerias of chef Dmitry Zotov. The menu here is constantly changing, so there have been dozens of pizzas in almost 7 years. We miss some of them very much (with heart and leek, for example), but here is what they are preparing today: “Margarita” with sauce from barrel tomatoes and suluguni; blue cheese and egg pizza; pizza with fig jam and Parma ham; pizza with beef bacon and green onions and pizza with turkey, cranberries and cheese ice cream. They cost from 450 to 550 rubles.
Nowadays, pizza is popular not only in its homeland - Italy, but also in almost all other countries, and each state adds its own national flavor and its traditional components to this dish. At one time, a survey was conducted on the Internet that showed that 79 percent of all users simply adore pizza. It must be said that today young people are ready to consume it at any time, not only during the day, but also at night. You can safely order pizza delivery to Zhukovsky.
Pizza is also good because it can be suitable, for example, for vegetarians, for children; everyone will find an option to suit their taste. However, which pizza recipe is the best, according to the vast majority? A public opinion poll has already shown these preferences; we just have to tell you which pizzas made it into the TOP-10.
Tenth place in the ranking - pizza four seasons (Quattro Stagioni)
This pizza is traditionally divided into four parts, and each segment is dedicated to one of the four seasons. The recipe for this pizza was created at the end of the nineteenth century. To prepare it, first of all you need to make the dough; it should be moderately elastic. For three glasses of water (600 milligrams), take one kilogram of flour and four tablespoons of olive oil. The yeast consumption rate is 25 grams. This pizza is made in a special oven called Pompeian, it has a semicircular top, and is heated with wood. In such an oven you can raise the temperature to 450 degrees, and then the pizza is baked in it in less than a minute.
Since we don’t have Pompeian ovens at home, we bake in a simple oven. So, roll out the dough, grease it with sauce, and put different fillings on each of the four parts. For the spring quarter - olives and artichokes, for the summer quarter - salami sausage and black pepper, in the autumn quarter there should be tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, and for the winter quarter there should be mushrooms. Lightly sprinkle the filling with olive oil, then bake for about ten minutes at a temperature of about 220°C. The finished dish should be sprinkled with finely chopped basil.
Ninth place in the ranking - Hawaiian pizza
For this option, the fillings are made differently. It comes with red onions, green peppers or jalapenos, however, ham and fresh pineapple are mandatory ingredients for Hawaiian pizza. The recipe was invented by Jane Golding, a teacher from Australia, in 1973. This dish is especially preferred by Canadians, Americans and Australians, but our citizens also liked it.
To make this pizza at home, you need to sprinkle the dough with grated cheese on the sauce, add pieces of bacon, red onion and pineapple pieces. Bake in the same way as in the previous recipe.
Eighth place in the ranking - pizza Capricciosa
Capricciosa should have a thin base, the finished pizza will be slightly crunchy. For her, in Italy they prepare a special spicy sauce from the best tomatoes. An indispensable ingredient in Capricciosa is mozzarella cheese.
In reality, this pizza is prepared in different ways, but you can’t go wrong if you add cherry tomatoes, champignons, finely chopped garlic, pieces of ham and olives as a filling. Instead of mozzarella, they put parmesan and also ricotta in it. It is baked as usual, but always sprinkled with herbs on top. Sometimes corn or artichokes are added to this version of pizza.
Calzone in Italian means “envelope with filling,” and indeed, it is served folded in half and baked that way. Calzones were historically made in a frying pan, not in the oven, but on the stove; this dish is still popular in southern Italy and is served as a traditional appetizer. The filling should be ricotta, pieces of ham, mushrooms, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. The finished dish should be sprinkled with chopped oregano.
To make your own calzone, you need to roll out the dough thinly, put the filling mentioned above on one half, sprinkle with pizza sauce, cover with the other half of the dough and lightly pinch the edges. The pizza should be lightly sprinkled with oil and fashion on top and baked for ten minutes at 240 degrees.
Sixth place in the ranking - Neapolitan pizza
For Neapolitans, the recipe for their native pizza is a matter of honor. At one time it was even legalized by A.P. Scagno, while serving as Minister of Agriculture. Few people decide to cook it at home, taking into account the above.
For example, a pizza should not be more than 35 centimeters in diameter, and it should have small sides of two centimeters along the edges, otherwise it cannot be Neapolitan. In addition, if a Neapolitan sees unpeeled tomatoes or cheese other than mozzarella on a pizza, he will be horrified.
Fresh basil and garlic, olive oil and anchovies also cannot be replaced, although in our pizzerias they replace anchovies with canned tuna, and use sunflower oil.
Fifth place in the ranking - pizza with seafood
Pizza with seafood has an exquisite taste, so it rightfully took fifth place in the ranking. This pizza includes a special sauce: grind garlic with salt, add olive oil and season it with pepper to taste.
Add lemon juice and zest to the pre-sorted seafood and leave to act for ten minutes. After this, olive oil, finely chopped garlic, and thyme leaves are added. The dough is coated with the sauce mentioned above, the filling is added, then olives are cut into slices and sprinkled with cheese. Please note that this pizza is not baked for more than eight minutes (at 250°C).
Fourth place in the ranking - four cheeses
Pizza for true connoisseurs of cheese “Quatro formaggi” is called white pizza. It should contain only a subtle bouquet of cheeses and nothing else. To prepare pizza, four cheeses are taken from different types, for example, Dor Blue with a pronounced piquant taste, Parmesan, Fontina cheese and classic delicate Mozzarella. A special oil is also prepared for this pizza: half a glass of finely chopped herbs (basil and oregano in equal parts) is poured with olive oil and left for a couple of hours. This sauce is used to coat the dough before adding the cheeses. The baking temperature should be slightly lower (230 degrees), the cooking time should be about 15 minutes.
Third place in the ranking - pizza Diabola (diavola)
The Italian devil's pizza, created in the American tradition, includes peperoni or salsiccia Napoletana sausage, as well as Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. After a layer of sauce, red chili peppers and champignons are placed on the dough before the sausage. This pizza is baked for 8-10 minutes and sprinkled with basil after cooking.
Second place in the ranking - Sicilian pizza
Sicilians believe that their pizza is not only the most delicious food, but also the most affordable. In Palermo, the so-called “sfincione” is sold year-round, and American immigrants, whose homeland is Sicily, traditionally prepare this square, juicy pizza on all holidays.
Classic Sicilian pizza should include large quantities of tomatoes, Italian pecorino cheese, and anchovies. Onions and mushrooms, sliced olives are often added. The finished dish is sprinkled with basil and oregano. The dough is made fluffy, the dish is baked for about half an hour at a temperature of about 220°C. Sicilian pizza should not be crispy, but rather soft and tender.
First place in the ranking - pizza “Margherita”
Simple, but at the same time ingenious Margherita pizza, as it turns out, is the most popular in the world, but, I must say, rightfully so. This traditional food for Italians is prepared today in almost any pizzeria, and it never fails.
To prepare Margherita, the dough is coated with tomato sauce, and if we use any of the varieties, in Italy it is made exclusively from San Marzano tomatoes. Place the pizza in the oven for ten minutes, then take it out and add Mozzarella cheese. After this, it is poured with high-quality olive oil, lightly sprinkled with sea salt and added basil leaves. After this, it is baked in the oven for several minutes until it is completely cooked.
So, you have found out which pizzas are the most popular today, however, no one can accurately calculate how many variations of pizza are prepared in the world, since each country uses its own traditional products. Generous and sunny Italy gave us this wonderful delicacy that you can prepare for your family on a weekday, and for guests on a holiday. Enjoy delicious pizza and bon appetit!
